yeah, but we all know that with few exceptions MSRP's from American manufacturers are to be taken with a grain of salt

Well, just was in the Newbury Park CA HmDpt and they have a display and two in boxes. Of course, no one knows a thing about it... I tried reading the manual, and obtuse would be a compliment. Perhaps someone who uses airless would understand it better.Is it a "turbine assisted airless" or "pump assisted turbine" in "fine mode"? Does that make up for the two stage turbine?It would be awesome to spray my stucco exterior and patio cover (maybe even reseal my redwood fence), and then turn around and finely spray some interior trim and built-ins I'm working on!!!!

Mine arrived a couple of days ago. It appears to be a solid piece of goods. I won't have a chance to use it for a little while but I thought it sounded like a good deal so I jumped on it. This makes the deal a lot sweeter.

I might have a crown job coming up that will be 1500+lf, this would ideal. I've got a nice Asturo gun now with a pressure pot but I wouldn't want to use that for this job. Being able to spray directly from a 5 gallon bucket would be perfect. Let us know how the unit performs.

Does anyone know if they sell something similar in Europe ( Belgium) for that price?

I have never seen anything with this functionality at this price. I am really amazed they can market this at this price, having both the airless and HVLP functionality in one. Of course I don't know at what quality standard this thing is built. If it works it's extremely good value for the money.

The things that comes closest to this in Europe that I know about are Wagner's products. Wagner has a line of spray equipment that ranges from Pro to Semi-Pro to Hobbyist. Even their Semi-Pro line is a lot more expensive than this Milwaukee sprayer. Check out some of Wagner's Hobbyist and Semi-Pro lines at ToolProf. They also ship to Belgium but I'm sure Wagner is also sold in Belgium.

Well, it's working now. I didn't do anything, but click on it again. I tried 3 or 4 times last night, but got the same response. Thanks for posting that. I have the Wagner airless sprayer, but for that price, would love to own this one too.

HeyI found out some DISAPPOINTING information on these....TTI Milwaukee's owner has pulled a Porter-Cable here The internal parts to this are all from Milwaukee's sister Ryobi TTI rebadged ryobi mechanics in Milwaukee red and black ........ shame on them

Manufacturers of tools typically manufacture - or have manufactured - to a price point. The Festool users out there are lucky because Festool focuses on quality, longevity, innovation, and not necessarily price. I think the tools that we will see this year will put an exclamation point on that. That is why they are comfortable enough to offer the warranties they do.

I think the issue at hand is when manufacturers have several quality lines and then use the reputation (goodwill) of one line whose history has been of better quality to sell a product that is really a rebadged lesser quality product.

I have many Ryobi tools from the 1980's when they first came out as competition to Makita. There were lawsuits at that time regarding price dumping and also similarity of colors. They were very innovative and they still are. They do indeed serve a place in the tool chain.
